Buddhism Is Not What You Think

Buddhism Is Not What You Think : Finding Freedom Beyond Beliefs, by Steve Hagen, from HarperCollins, ISBN 0060730579. Zen teacher Steve Hagen, author of Buddhism Plain & Simple, returns with an accessible, engaging and practical guide to the most essential elements of Buddhism. Hagen draws from everyday examples to separate the wisdom of the Buddha from the Eastern cultural trappings and popular Western misconceptions it has acquired. With simple and clear guidance he illustrates how to approach the world as it is, rather than as we think, hope, or imagine it could be.
